Just wondering if anyone has ever ripped out their toe piece/climbing bracket? (Voile and/or Burton) Thanks in advance. 8) August 29, 2005 at 10:38 pm #582684 jimw 1421 Posts Not yet. On my homemade split I used wood screws and epoxy instead of the t-bolts because I didn’t want the huge holes in the base, and I didn’t have the tools to fill it in. I talked with someone at Voile before doing this who thought it should be fine in my case. It would probably depend on the weight of the board and rider. I’ve only used this board once on a BC trip so the jury is still out. No probs with the Burton other than having to remember to check every screw before a trip… August 30, 2005 at 3:57 am #582685 jive stick 110 Posts Yup, coupla times with the homemades. Remedied with t-bolts. None since the inserts, but the bracket is usually mangled from a tendency to ski the split from time to time as a novelty in the powdah snow. 😯 wowasatch.com September 3, 2005 at 5:01 pm #582686 jimfish 16 Posts i rippe dout my climbing bar on my first ascent w/ my split fish, up st hellly.
